Application filed June 4,

T 0 all '10 ham it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN A. HOWARD, Sn, a citizen of the United States, residing at est New Brighton, S. 1., in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Electric Sadirons, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to improvements in electric sad-irons, and one of the principal objects is to provide a device of thls nature having a. plurality of rollers forming its bearing surface. v

Another object is to provide a shell which shall catch the heat escaping from the rollers and maintain it in close proximity to the rollers.

- With these and incidental objects in view the invention consists of certain novelfeailll'BS of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing consisting or one sheet, in which:

Figure 1 is side elevational view of my im' roved sad-iron.

li igure 2 is a bottom plan view of the ing of an el' ctric sad-iron having a pluralw tn a heatin e ity of rollers each n and smooth the being provided iron forming a space for confining the escaping heat above said rollers.

Referring more particularly to the draw ings, 1 represents the body or shell of a sadiron provided with a handle portion 2, and

a member 3 having terminals 4:. I

li'iounted in bearings in the shell 1 1s a element, and the shell of the 1926. Serial No. 386,437.

plurality of roller members 5 each having a heatmg element conventionally shown at 6, which elements are connected to each other not deemed necessary to illustrate the same.

It will be noted that the bottom of the casing is entirely open, so that while it retains the heat, radiated from the rollers 5, any vapor which may rise from the moist clothes will be permitted to pass out freely when it '60 starts to condense.

While I Have described what I consider to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many of the details may be varied without in any way departing from the spirit of my invention, and I, therefore, do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth nor to anything less than the whole of my invention limited only by" the appended 7 claim.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersFatent 1s':

A sad iron comprising a she-ll, a plurality of rotary smoothing members journaled in .75

the opposed sides of the shell and arranged to project a considerable distance below the. lower edges of said sides, said shell being closed .at the top to confine the heat, and

completely open at the bottom for the purpose: specified.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature 4 JOHN A. HOWARD, SR.
